He competed in the individual and team sabre events at the 1980 and 1988 Summer Olympics.[3] He also won the 1983 sabre world championship.[4] He is the twin brother of Khristo Etropolski, who also fenced for Bulgaria at the 1980 and 1988 Olympics.[5]
At the New York Athletic Club he coached Stephen Kovacs, a sabre fencer who in 1989 won the United States Fencing Association (USFA) Under-17 saber championship, and in 1990 won the USFA Under-20 (Junior) saber championship.[6][7][8] Kovacs later became a fencing coach, was charged with the sexual assault of two of his students, and died in prison in 2022.[9]
